is BODATSA connected directly or indirectly with APD ?
I dont know APD!

Initially based for southern Africa on "G. GERMISHUIZEN & N.L. MEYER, eds, (2003). Plants of Southern Africa: an annotated checklist. Pretoria"
Yes but Germishuizen is 2003: 17 years ago. BODATSA is current - like POWO. So far the talley is 50:50 as to whether BODATSA or POWO is most up to date: as a rough rule BODATSA being when latest literature is more local journals, and POWO when published in the locally unavailable (expensive) international journals.
OK, then contrarily to POWO and APD, BODATSA considers both C. niveus and C. sphaerocephalus as varieties under C. obtusiflorus. But as iNat follows POWO, and because this situation generates no ambiguity (even variety as this specific correspondance, and inversely), we can maintain the current situation.
Errol.
Whoa: dont let us explore this too detailed at this stage. the curators of POWO and BODATSA will investigate this when they again have access to their resources. Specifically the curator of BODATSA has pointed out that the genus has not been revised on the system for over 5 years, so it may well just need to catch up.
But yes: a link to the latest literature would help.
Please remember to cross-reference with BODATSA for any southern African flora and get the two databases (POWO and BODATSA) in sync before making any changes to the southern African flora.
